The bill requires a license to be , taken out by those contracting matrimony and if this license is I not obtained the offenders are subject to a fine of not more than $100 nor less than $25 or im1 prisonment for not more than 30 J nor less than 10 days.

The fines imposed are to be turned over to [the school fund. The committee iamendment was adopted as I "Provided, that nothing herein contained shall render any marriage illegal without the issuing of a license." The effect of the law should the bill pass the house will be to stop the numerous runaway marriages and to have a record of all marriages. It would be a criminal offense for a preacher or law officer to perform a ceremony without the license. Once married, however, the couple would remain married, this being the effect of the eommmittee amendment. W. F.

Our society, Foreign Missionary, is called to mourn the loss of one of its most earnest members, therefore we resolve: 1. That by the death of Mrs. Dora McDowell Grier we have lost a faithful i rni t i? menu. i no ior years a suuerer, sne never lost her interest in the Master's work, and was ever in her place at the meetings, when her health permitted. 2. Tnat her "patient continuance in well doing," her unswerving devotion to duty, and her gentle uncomplaining spirit may serve as an inspiration ana example for us all. "I ask not, take away this weight of care; No, for that love 1 pray, that all can bear. And for the faith that whatsoe'er befall Must needs be good, and for my profit prove; Since iroin my Father's hand most rich in love And from His bounteous hands it cometh all." 3. Unit a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family, be recorded in our minutes, and sent to the Fort Mill Times for publication. Mrs. J. W. Ardrey, Mrs. A. O. Jones. Mrs. C. S. Link.
